The Impact of a donor’s domestic political economy on its policy and practice of development cooperation comparing to the impact of international norms and principles

International norms and principles are considered as the main basement for the international development cooperation programs. Developed countries are thought that they are the leader of humanitarian aids and they do this just for the sake of developing and underdeveloped countries. However, the policy and practice of development cooperation are affected mainly by domestic political economy of donor nations. The international principles, non-government organizations (NGO) and other international organizations have less impact on the donors’ action in international arena. Meanwhile, it is the domestic political economy and national interests of donor countries that influence their endeavor in the international development cooperation projects. The author of this paper will discuss how national political aims are stronger than international norms and principles when it comes to international cooperation.
